Beautiful Ride
About a month ago, we got a new bishopric in our singles ward. It didn't take long for Bishop Swenson to hear that I hadn't ridden a horse in a very long time, but that I loved it. So what awesome thing did he do? He invited me and my RS Presidency out for a ride! He only keeps 4 horses in the valley so my first counselor get left out of this ride, but she'll be on the next one because Bishop wants to go again! It was a fabulous afternoon!
I love being on the majestic horses. There is just a peace that comes from riding through the mountains on such a grand animal that you can't feel anywhere else!
It was so much fun to race the horses!

October Eves
Listen! The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves.
We have had our summer evenings, now for October Eves!

Mi Casa
Many of you may remember a year a go when I posted that I was moving into this FABULOUS place! I promised there would be pictures, but miserably failed. One year later, give or take a couple days, I am finally posting pictures. Mostly because I am now looking for another roommate. One is getting married and is moving out in less than a week and we need another renter. But, for your pleasure, here is a brief tour.
The front drive is U-shaped for friendliness on the busy street. Its also big enough that we have plenty of parking for all 4 cars. The house is tucked back far enough to diminish the sounds from the street. Mostly.
We have a huge kitchen!!! There is so much space we haven't even filled it all yet. Plus, there is another kitchen downstairs (minus an oven, stove, & dishwasher) so we are never left without food. Hehe!
This is our front room. It has a 16'H vaulted ceiling, and a great gas fireplace. When the blinds are lifted, the view from the chair is of Mount Olympus and unobstructed! This is my favorite place in the house.
This is our massive backyard. Because we're in a twin home, we do share it with our neighbors, but they are really nice. To be honest, we actually have never used it since there isn't a patio, only 3 feet of cement outside the basement door. Still looks nice though.
Our land lord takes care of all yard maintenance and snow removal so pretty much, we're living easy! I'm very happy here. Now if I could just find a roommate... :)

So What Have I Been Up To?
This one's for you, Erin! ;)
Its been a BUSY summer full of lots of work, church, holidays, family events, weddings, and plain fun. Here's a brief photo update!
June - Bees game with our ward. (L to R) Cammie T, me, Ingrid B. Ingrid is from Brasil so it was really fun watching her enjoy her first time at America's favorite past-time - baseball!
More from the Hill Air Force Base air show. (L to R) Natalie T, Liz D, me, Ashley W
My friend Missy got married and we had fun at her reception. (L to R) Cammie T, Ingrid B, Liz D, me
Provo's Freedom Festival and the balloon festival. We headed down to P-Town at 6am and were just too late to see them rise. But we did see this one!
The crew... (L to R) Jason, Natalie, Brad, Ashley, Mike, Liz, Cammie, me
And who can pass up Kneader's breakfast after the balloon festival? Total Provo tradition.
Fireworks with friends
Boating. Thanks Dev!
My very first attempt to slalom... success! Although, my form has definite room for improvement.
Devin let me drive the boat! Wahoo! Then I got wasted on the tube while he drove. (L to R) Me, Cammie, Ryan
Oquirrh Mountain LDS Temple open house in South Jordan, UT. Sorry if you missed it. It was absolutely beautiful!
Celebrated my roommate's birthday at the Cheesecake Factory. Happy birthday Cammie!
With family doing fireworks.
Saying goodbye to Brittany. She was the 1st counselor in my Relief Society Presidency. The east coast was calling her name... I miss her.
My cousin Mary got married on July 29. Sarah and I, aka Keddington Weddings, planned it, but I'm still waiting on the awesome pictures from Liz Draper Photography so I can showcase it in the right light. It was amazing!
[Pictures should be here]
And most recently, YSA Summit at the U of U Institute. Met some cool people, learned a lot, ran a 5k for a fundraiser, danced, and was spiritually uplifted. What a great weekend! (L to R) me, Jon, Cammie

Facebook Communicado
Oh girl, I hear ya. I do get what you say and what this generation holds.

Isn't our generation just the smartest generation ever? Who needs anything more than one night. We have finally figured it out. We should hold our heads high and be proud of ourselves!

So yes, our generation does not commit. Take it for what you will. But from now on, I'm going to work on saying yes or no. No more of this "maybe" stuff that Facebook has so quickly ingrained into our daily vocabulary. I'm ready.

Rachel Keddington I do believe that our generation is the worst with commitment. I mean, its just one night! Yes or No. Is it really that hard to make ANY choice?
